I got a nice little email from the Cellar this morning. Very thoughtful. Thank you, Cellar.

It must be your birthday. Happy Birthday.

my belt is one notch tighter today.

yey Jim. :)

But what about your hat?

I didn't get a hat stretcher....

I took my 13 yr old daughter to a local college production of Little Shop Of Horrors on Sunday and she is still thanking me today. Considering that she usually behaves like someone just ran over her puppy, that is a minor miracle.

So, does she want to go to dental school now?

LOL actually the dentist was her favorite character, aside from Audrey II

I think I may have located a friend from college. She dropped off our radars pretty quickly after graduation. She had a ChemE degree, and the Goog only turned up one person with her name, and that person was a DBA. Not a match, I thought.

After combing through and correlating other bits of data over the last few months, I think it must be her. I sent her an email and am crossing my fingers.

After all, when I think about the twists my own career has taken it's not so hard to believe it could be her.
:fingerx:

Just got 'dropped in on' at the lodge by two Marines I served with in 1971 that I haven't seen in a few years. We are all still fairly healthy and managed not to speak of the negatives of the war. In parting, they gave me a bottle of 12 yr scotch and a case of bangoliers. We were all discreetly misty. Life is good. RFN.

american spirit, spork, beach glass, spongebob squarepants, sushi, Lenin

I met a very, very nice man who is good looking, gainfully employed and seems normal so far!! He invited me to lunch on friday!

*crosses fingers*

My son will turn 18 in Oct. and it's just about time to get it out there.

You go, girl!

Good luck. I envy that dude.

Run. Run far, and hide.

Two photographs and a bag of meat.

I successfully installed an electrical outlet without incident. (When we tore down wallpaper in the kitchen, we discovered they had papered over a junction box that we never even knew was there.)

Marriage status is....?

After the shitty way the year started, I saw a double rainbow today.

Yeah, I know, the second one is partial, but it's there.

Will be entering the strange and happy world of dog ownership around lunchtime today. Only got 5 hours of sleep because I'm so excited/nervous.

Sounds like my sex life.

No wait, can I take that back?

Fair enough!

He's single! YAY!

A divorced dentist with his own practice. (kids all grown)

Now - no anti-dentite jokes, please!

:D

How about "probing your cavity" jokes, are they okay?

Bri, you know I can't resist:

Kramer: You're a rabid anti-dentite! Oh, it starts with a few jokes and some slurs. "Hey, denty!" Next thing you know you're saying they should have their own schools.

Jerry: They do have their own schools!

I'll give a qualified "yes"

being anti-dentata, on the other hand, is perfectly reasonable.

Jokes? Never!!

Movie musical excerpts? Always.

Oooh! That makes me happy - Bri's gettin' some!
Does he have a brother?

Today I am happy planning my trip to Amsterdam in Sept.
Of course this depends on how much tax refund I get, but it's the best chance I have for a holiday this year, so I'm going to plan the hell out of it and if it doesn't happen at least I'll have enjoyed that part.

AND I'm going to see a screening of the first episode of Psychoville (Pemberton/ Shearsmith new project) on Weds 27 May at the BFI, with a panel dicsussion afterwards with Mr Shearsmiths himself. Wooop! Wooop! Ticket was £6.65 in case you were wondering. Instead of the £8.30 I was going to spend going to see Angels and Demons with the 'rents (their choice). Money much better spent methinks.

Happy today.

Good luck Bri, and Choc! (Personally I'd rather get a dog than go on a date.)

Going to the Rockies game with a GREAT friend who I haven't seen since I moved to CO - her bro in law plays for the Rockies, so we're meeting at his house, his wife is driving, we get to park in player parking, use the player entrance, sit in the player's wives section. I feel like a celebrity!!!

well you are the Queen after all....

@ Bri.....

I bet first thing he says is "Open wide".

Then you say "Ahhhhhhh". I truly hope you find true love. AND get you some.

:blush:

thanks, guys!

You've been needing that filling for a while, huh?

If the get married, they should put up a plaque.

i bet she'll wear a gold crown.

hmmm ... drilling .... root canal .... oral ....

nah, I got nothin.

my mom's car was parked next to a car that caught fire. the heat melted her passenger side. total loss.

today she bought a Chrysler 300 from a dealer near her instead of coming to my work tomorrow and buying a Maxima from me.

one less thing i have to deal with tomorrow.

every time I see on of those I Think This IS CRYSLER !!!!

OMG, me too zip, lol.... who said that? Cyclefrance?

eta: I had one as a rental a while ago. I called Jim right after I got in it and screamed that at him, lol...

I'm thinking, mouthwash... gargling..... but I also have nothing.

Dentures!

... whitening treatment ...

.....pearlies?

free toys....


...oh wait, that's just for kids




Is he a redhead, Bri? Should we worry about gingivitis?

Free toothpaste and toothbrushes for life.

And lots of floss. You know you love floss.

no, not a ginger! He's actually gone all grey/white! (I'm getting up there myself, you know...but he's 13 years older than I am, so...)

:) It's all good. He wears glasses and yes, has a very nice smile.

Glad to hear that, Bri. But you know what we're all REALLY waiting for.....

a savior to rise from these streets?

Heavens, no!

Someone would crucify him!

:lol2:

Hang on, hang on (as the robber said to the saviour...)

I'd just got to the point where Bri is being drilled by the dentist, and now she's being nailed by Jebus? This thread moves too fast for me.

Bri is banging Captain Pike?

/obscure?

(as in the guy who was captain before Kirk? Or have I got the name wrong?)

... (CARREY)

You are correct.
I just wasn't sure anyone would get the reference...

Boston Butt cook off this Saturday at the lodge. I will enter.

Whole pig cooking coming up May 30 for open house.

Pics pending. In the outdoor cooking thread. God bless Mooseheart.

Yey! Do I get a supergeek badge?

I entered a competition recently where that was the answer ("don't tell them your name, Pike" rather than Bri, I mean). I googled it, sorry. I'll hand my geek badge in at the door.

Just thought I'd update you on my chillies.
Going to ask Dad if I can "borrow" a pot and some soil over the weekend.

Bolognaise Pizza with Salami.....mmmmmmm

TGIF
I mean it!
